Introduction

Good day to everyone! The topic I am sharing today is For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself, taken from Galatians 6:3. Why this topic? Because we have been encouraging everyone to learn recently, and I hope you all develop good study habits. But what often hinders growth and learning is the word think.

In life, I have observed that the word think has ruined many people. Today, I will discuss how these two words can be destructive. Consulting the dictionary, think is described as to believe wrongly. If a person thinks, it means they wrongly believe something. Today, let us introspect on whether we are people who often think. If you frequently say I think, you will likely encounter obstacles in your learning. You always think, without careful examination.

There was a young man who regularly listened to my sermons, and he proclaimed that he had received the Chinese Mingding Destiny theological system. However, if you were to ask him what the Chinese Mingding Destiny theological system is, you would find that he knows nothing about it. He merely listened and thought he had received the Chinese Mingding Destiny theological system.

Last Sunday, I delivered a sermon titled Building a Complete System, which was also about learning. I encourage everyone to listen to it again during this time, to learn how to build a complete system. If a person has not built a complete system but thinks they have, it is very perilous. Therefore, I urge you to ponder on it.

Last night, I ministered to a sister who was severely oppressed by the spirit of poverty. This sister is very poor, and her parents are also poor, relying on her sister for support, even though her parents are not very old, about my age. Despite this sister's poverty, her family is still asking her for money. I told her to learn how to express her words, the meaning of what I said is very deep.

However, she said, I have already made it clear to my parents. Later, when I discussed other things with this sister, she said, Then how should I talk to my parents? Every time it's about money, it has been about money since I was young. After hearing her words, I realized how self-righteous she was, with the underlying sentiment of what more can I do? I then asked her how she felt she had made it clear. She retorted, asking me how she should say it. I gave her some examples, telling her how I would respond in such situations.

In fact, people who are blinded by the spirit of poverty must have many thoughts of poverty in their minds, and their memories will be filled with many bad things. Today, I encourage you, not because you are unlucky, but because you have stored many bad things in your mind. There are many people who store bad things in their minds. If a person constantly experiences and receives bad things throughout their life, what will they become? Observe carefully.

Later, I discovered that everyone thinks these things are facts, but they are all wrong perceptions. I asked her if she was born and could buy a plane ticket to Taiwan. No! Were you thrown into a pigpen and raised with pigs by your parents? No! Then why have so many negative thoughts about your parents?

Actually, our own perceptions are often the result of what we think, and they are not the truth. Perhaps there is indeed something to it, but your perception will definitely have extreme deviations. What is this? It's the spirit of poverty! Brothers and sisters who are oppressed by the spirit of poverty have only seen bad things since childhood. If you only see bad things, your life will be miserable, unless you are willing to change.

If you think what you see is the truth, you will be even more miserable because those are not facts. Those are what you think. Over the past years, I have ministered to many people like this. These people all think that what they see are facts, but they are not at all.

A long time ago, I encountered a mother who, when mentioning her child, always said: He is so amazing, born capable of flying to Canada, born able to do whatever he wants. That is to say, in such interpersonal relationships, especially in parent-child relationships, our words carry a strong sense of self-righteousness. This self-righteousness hinders growth.

Later, I found a very famous song online called I Thought, I thought he still loved me, but he already had someone else in his heart; I thought the girl living in our house was my girlfriend, but I only sent her a bouquet of flowers and posted on social media, and she never came back; I thought the coronavirus was only effective in Chinese people, but later found that it was effective in Indians and Americans as well. Many people grow up relying on thinking. Some think they are decadent, but they are just scrapped; some think they live inside the Earth, but they live on the surface and finally come out.

For example, myself, I think I sing pretty well, but others always hear different songs. Some think the roads are their own, driving recklessly, resulting in many fines. You think it doesn't work, so some think their way of handling problems is the most advanced in the world. Some think they are unappreciated. We think many things. The worst thing is that Christians think they are saved after believing in the Lord. So human thinking is a very dangerous thing.

In the Bible, especially in Galatians, some people even think they can fulfill all the law. Some people even think they are completely saved. Some people think their actions are very standard and fully comply with the law, but the reality is not so. Therefore, the more people think, the greater the gap with real life, and the more miserable the outcome you live out, because your judgment of things deviates greatly from the truth. Therefore, if thinking is not dealt with, it will be troublesome.

Our brothers and sisters must be clear, we must not have too many thinking. For example, one day I took a taxi, and the driver was supposed to go straight, but he went into the left turn lane. I asked him why he took this lane, and he said he thought this lane was straight. He could see the arrows on the ground, but he didn't look, he just thought, and as a result, he was stuck in the left turn lane. Therefore, today we must begin to eliminate these thinking and remove the things that hinder our growth and learning. This is the key to our growth.

Scripture

For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. (Galatians 6:3)

Prayer

Lord Jesus, please help us today, so that I can share your message, your word, clearly and plainly. Lord, may your Holy Spirit work among us, removing the self-righteousness within us, removing those things we think. Lord, today, let us remove those self-deceptive things within us, what we do not have but think we have, those things we do not know but think we know. Lord, illuminate us with your Holy Spirit. Lord, today, grant us wisdom and understanding, so that I can share your word clearly and plainly with everyone. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen!

Background of this passage

Why did Paul write the Book of Galatians? Because a group of people was preaching a false gospel, and Paul called them false apostles. As for who these people were, it is not important, because they were related to Peter and James. They preached a very strange thing: Believing in Jesus is good, but it is not enough, you still need to keep the law. Having faith is not enough, you still need to have deeds. Deeds and faith go hand in hand, that is what they said.

What was really going on? Paul made it very clear. But they proclaimed: It is not enough to have faith alone, it is not enough to have Jesus alone, you still need to keep the festivals, the Feast of Tabernacles, Pentecost, Passover, and you still need to be circumcised. Without circumcision, it is no good, the gospel we preach is more high-end than the gospel Paul preaches, Paul's gospel is a slimmed-down gospel.

What is a slimmed-down gospel? It means you do not need to keep circumcision and the festivals, believing in Jesus is enough. Is adding these things a high-end gospel? Or a low-end gospel? Many people were immediately confused. Some people think it's good to have more things, I believe in Jesus, I also keep circumcision, I also keep Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles, they mix many things together and think it's okay to have more deeds.

For example, children these days, do they really understand what the exam questions are? For example, some of the assignments I grade, I ask them why they write so much, and they say writing more doesn't deduct points. Actually, the key is only a few sentences, they know the answer is in this big paragraph. But they don't know what the answer is, so they just mess around, anyway, writing a big paragraph doesn't hurt. Do they really understand? No, they don't.

Everyone must know for sure that today, the Jesus we believe in, once you add deeds, the promise of Jesus Christ becomes invalid; once you add the law, Jesus' crucifixion becomes invalid; once you carefully observe festivals, days, months, years, etc., then you lose the power of the gospel. So, which is low-end and which is high-end? Paul wrote a long letter, the Book of Galatians, hoping that the brothers and sisters in Galatia would come out of this false gospel.

Actually, who is Paul referring to when he says For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself? He is referring to those who preach the false gospel, they think they are preaching the true gospel, even the Jews who crucified Jesus thought they were serving God. So these false apostles, they think their actions are very good; they think they have kept all the law, but it is not the case at all. It sounds as if that's fine, but after mixing in things based on works, this true gospel is twisted. This situation is still everywhere in Christian circles today.

What makes the gospel lose its power? It is things that are based on works. If you stay in this Christian circle for a long time, you will find that what they are saying has no effect on dealing with the desires of the flesh. This is a very fundamental reason, that the gospel of Christianity has lost the original power of the gospel of Jesus Christ in the practice of the past thousand years.

It is not to say that there are no signs and wonders, it is just that being like Jesus has become a luxury for people. You will find that many people love to say: I am not Joseph, I am indeed not Joseph; I am not Jesus, I am indeed not Jesus, I am just an ordinary person, how could I be like Jesus? Look at the arguments of these people, they seem humble, but that is not God's will. Because they have entered a state of being based on works, and have turned this gospel into a powerless gospel.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is a powerful gospel. Jesus trained twelve disciples to heal the sick and cast out demons, and trained seventy disciples to heal the sick and cast out demons, but today there are very few churches that cast out demons. I know a pastor who used to cast out demons, but later their child died from an illness. From then on, he and his wife stopped casting out demons, and they suffered from many illnesses. I also ministered to his wife, and her illness was indeed healed. Later, when they mentioned this matter, they described me as a heretic. Isn't this strange? The false gospel became the true gospel, and the true gospel became the false gospel. It is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it is extremely confusing.

People cannot fully live out the law, thankfully the Book of Galatians testifies for us:

For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone, and not in his neighbor. (Galatians 6:3-4)

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:7-8)

The background of this passage is about this matter. Today I can't go through the entire Book of Galatians, today we will focus on self-deception and thinking. I encourage everyone to listen carefully to the Bible study of Galatians, because this book is very important. We really have to thank God for using Paul to write the Book of Galatians, so that this pure gospel can remain to this day.

Today we read the Bible, thankfully there is the Book of Galatians, so that we can know that works cannot be mixed into the foundation of faith. If according to the standards of works, Abraham would also not meet the requirements, but he pioneered the path of faith.

People Often Deceive Themselves

People, do not deceive yourselves, how do people deceive themselves? It is by thinking. For example, regarding the matter of living, people think that they must live this way to live well. I once told a story, and I will tell it again today. This is a typical case of thinking. I want to praise this sister, she has come out of thinking quite a bit even until today.

She thought that to live well, she had to go abroad. As a result, after going abroad, she worked as a dishwasher at the airport, working thirteen hours a day, which was very difficult. Because her sister was in our church, she also came to the church and met me. After we prayed with her for a period of time, she found another job. From washing dishes to being a kindergarten teacher, she thought she could live well by finding this job. She did not know that this job was a grace from God, but she often deceived herself.

She thought that work was crucial, she thought that believing in the Lord would interfere with her work, so she wholeheartedly did her work, and as a result, she was laid off after half a year. Later, she took this money back to her country, started a business, and then contracted an incurable disease, and as a result, she lost all her business and her illness was not cured. She thought she was going to die, so she came to see her niece and sister, and also to see if we could give her some help.

As a result, at this time, she thought that Jesus could save her, because she had a deadly disease. This time, her thinking was correct. Later, she attended every prayer meeting that I led, I felt it was very miraculous, something that was impossible to attend before. A few months later, she told me she wanted to testify. I asked her what she wanted to testify about, and she said that she had a deadly disease, and after praying with us, she was completely healed.

At first, she didn't believe it, but later she went to the hospital for a follow-up examination and found herself completely healed. As a result, she began to think that she was old and needed to get married. Of course, I don't object to getting married, because I am not the one getting married. But after getting married, she found that her husband had something else going on outside, and she began to cry. Originally, she thought that after getting married, she would live a better life. Actually, people who have been married will know whether that's the case.

Later, she gave birth to a child, thinking that giving birth to a child would make her life better. Originally, it was a problem between two people, but it became a problem between three people, and then adding the elderly and children, the children were also oppressed by demons, and she lived very hard. Later, she brought her children to find me and walked with us to this day. Does she still think now? Now she can only think that God is her God. People think that they need something to live well, but these are all wrong thoughts, so thinking is very dangerous.

For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:8)

We also have a sister among us, who is over sixty years old this year. From her twenties, she began to think this and think that, and as a result, she was still thinking this and that in her thirties. She is also very capable, but her mind is full of garbage, all things she thinks. Then she lived from her forties to her fifties, and after reaching her sixties, not only did she not have any belongings, but she also owed a lot of debt, living too miserably. I didn't know what to do, but I helped her in the end.

Thinking has ruined many people, how many of us are living in thinking, often deceiving ourselves. Among us, whether it is pastors, small pastors, or our brothers and sisters, how many are still living in thinking, today we must sort it out well. If I don't tell you, how can you know? The result of thinking is self-deception. So don't deceive yourself and think, thinking is deceiving yourself, God is not to be mocked. Don't think you've got it right, you have to examine yourself well.

So the Galatians in Galatians, they thought that having one more circumcision was better than having one less circumcision; that keeping one more festival was better than keeping one less festival, and as a result, they changed the gospel little by little. Everyone, do not get this wrong, once you believe in a powerful gospel and turn it into a powerless one, that is the most serious problem. Many powerless gospels still think they are orthodox, and label themselves as a pure gospel, and then say that others are heretics everywhere, but they themselves are a fake gospel, but they still want to transform others into their image.

Today we have many things to deceive ourselves, everyone, do not think God can be mocked, God is not to be mocked. You will pay the price for violating the spiritual laws. No matter who you are, no matter what you label yourself as, it is very dangerous for people to deceive themselves. Today, many of our parents hope that their children will get into famous universities, thinking that getting into famous universities will give them a future. In fact, there are many brothers and sisters who graduated from 985 and 211 universities who are receiving service among us.

A few days ago, one 985 graduate told me that he graduated from 985 and felt very proud. He thought he was great because he graduated from 985, but did it solve the problem? Later, he got severe depression, and then I released him from the hands of the devil, and then he never said he was a 985 graduate again. We think 985 can solve the problem; we think reading Tsinghua and Peking University can solve the problem; we think that reading from famous universities will allow us to live well, but it is not the case.

A few days ago, I watched a video about a Peking University Ph.D. graduate who, instead of working, sponged off his parents for seven or eight years. He was actually the top scorer in the college entrance examination in his village back then. Today, many of our parents demand that their children study desperately. It's not that studying hard is bad, but is it a problem to place all our hopes on these things? Actually, it is a problem. We might as well shape our children into people with character. Is it too narrow-minded to place all our hopes on our children getting into a good university?

Many times, we ourselves are the problem. So, I tell everyone again, do not deceive yourselves!

Get Rid of Presumptions, Start Seeking Diligently

Few of the things we presume are correct, so what should we do? Start seeking. Everyone should start seeking and observing. After you seek, few people will not believe that the spiritual realm is real, because the things of the spiritual realm govern our being alive. How do I know this? I sought. If you want to know how I became who I am today, it is because of my seeking heart.

Do you know that until today, including the last time I preached, I talked about something called classics. You can write down the word classics in your notebooks, because this word is powerful. Why should people read classics? Actually, if you can digest and understand the classics, you will stand on a very high position. Everyone must not start practicing from drilling wood to make fire, but must learn the classics of the predecessors.

Which one is a classic? Speaking of spiritual things, the Bible is a classic, because no one in the world does not know that Jesus is a great man. The things Jesus did were unprecedented and unmatched by anyone who came after Him. No one can do what Jesus did. If everyone examines it carefully today, they will find that Jesus is amazing.

Why is Jesus amazing? For example, when a child died, the child's mother came to Jesus. As a result, after Jesus went in, He took the child's hand, and the child came back to life. How many people can do such a thing? If we examine it carefully today, although Jesus did not leave any documents, we can see the supernatural things Jesus did in the Gospels written by His disciples, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

If these things are all recorded in the classics, shouldn't we conclude in the spiritual realm that Jesus is amazing, Jesus is the greatest? You ask me how I became who I am today. In fact, many of the things I do today are becoming more and more like Jesus, and I can often slay demons in an instant.

A few days ago, someone suddenly called me and said that their body was always shaking inexplicably. I asked if they felt dizzy. They said their body was moving on its own. I told them it was just a small demon and then led them in prayer. In ten seconds, the symptoms disappeared immediately. In fact, this sister was very ill back then. She was dying in the hospital, and her husband was guarding her. Then she came to me and asked if I could help her. I went to the hospital to see her and after an hour of prayer, she went home, jumping and laughing, completely healed. Although it relapsed a few times later, she could call me at any time, and I would serve her at any time. She was quite blessed.

I seek the Jesus in the Bible, and I long to be like Jesus. In fact, Chinese people are more prone to Buddhism. Before I sought to be like Jesus, I went to a temple to find a monk, and that monk was still my good friend.

Later, I found that in Christianity, anything can be changed. But the ideas in Buddhism are a bit Buddhist, talking about past and present lives. Maybe I didn't fully understand what he said at the time, but later I felt that Christianity could still be explored. Then after I explored it, I found that I could cast out demons and set people free, which shocked me greatly.

I thank God that I encountered a church that could cast out demons so early, a church full of power. I know there are too many things I don't know, so I won't say I presume. If you ask me, I won't presume it's a coincidence or accident like some people do. Although my ideas are a bit odd, I think there are many things I don't know, and I don't want to presume it's a coincidence. I won't make such a judgment.

I just read the Bible desperately. As a result, I have worn out several Bibles, so I am very clear about the things described in the Bible. Although I am not particularly clear, I am quite clear. Even today, there are still many things I don't know. But I absolutely know what things are not in the Bible. For example, the Trinity God, that word is not in the Bible; for example, the popular Happiness Group today is not in the Bible either. In other words, there are quite a few things today that have no biblical basis. Why? They are all presumptions.

Today, we need to get rid of the word presume and start seeking diligently. The things recorded in the Bible are not yet fully explored. I think we should forget about the things not recorded in the Bible. Some people presume that they can attract people with Happiness Groups. In fact, I was one of the earlier people to start Happiness Groups. Because what Happiness Groups do today is the same as what I did in the early days. Later, I dismantled the Happiness Groups because I found that Happiness Groups were not effective. Although they could attract people, the people they attracted were all people who just wanted to eat and drink.

In fact, our church has a characteristic. At first, there was a lot of eating and drinking, then it became small eating and drinking, then it became boxed lunches and fruits, and finally there was only a bottle of mineral water, and the mineral water had to be bought for a dollar. Because the church is a place to train people to give, not a place to train people to take advantage of. Later, the road our church has taken is simply miraculous.

We took all the public holidays to hold prayer meetings, and everyone came to participate 100%. Later, more and more miracles and wonders happened. Why? Because we built the church according to what the Bible says. Why? Because I know that nothing can replace the classics. So I built according to the words of the Bible and found that God is a problem-solving God, our God is mighty. In the early days, I hoped to attract people with happiness, fun, playing, eating, and drinking. Later I found that only those attracted by Jesus are the ones God wants.

But I thank God that I haven't liked presuming since I was a child. When I found that there was no classical support for the things I presumed, I basically discarded them. I thought this could make money, but in the end, I found that the things I thought were not effective. Today, many people think that this can make money, that this can make life better, and that this can make life healthier. Later, many people proved that this was not the case at all.

The difference between effective and ineffective is too great. Why? Because the Bible uses spiritual words to explain spiritual things, and the Bible has the highest authority in the spiritual realm. Our Lord Jesus Christ will attract all people to Himself when He is lifted up, because Jesus Christ can release the power to resurrect people from the dead, so nothing cannot be changed.

Brothers and sisters, today, let us throw away the things we presume that do not conform to the Bible, because the things we presume are not effective, only the things clearly recorded in the Bible are effective. I think many people may challenge my point of view. It doesn't matter, you can continue to presume what you presume. If it is effective, you can continue to do it. If it is ineffective, start relying on the power of the Holy Spirit to put to death the evil deeds of our flesh. Not only live by the Spirit, but also walk by the Spirit, because the Spirit and the flesh are in conflict, and they are opposed to each other.

Brothers and sisters, today I want to tell you that if we seek diligently, we will surely find it, because God is waiting for us to seek in this generation. Don't be surprised when you find it, because God has been waiting for you there for a long time.

Don't presume that you can't be like Jesus because you are not Jesus. Don't presume that you can't be like Joseph because you are not Joseph, because God recorded Joseph in the Bible and Jesus in the Bible to let us imitate them. God longs to shape us into the image of Jesus Christ. Do we often deceive ourselves? And then pay a heavy price for deceiving ourselves? If so, get rid of it completely today and start seeking earnestly.

Not Presuming to Have Attained, But Pressing On

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13)

Today, if we want to learn and grow, we must first solve our own self-righteous things, that is, the things we presume in our hearts. The apostle Paul said, I do not presume that I have already attained it. I do not presume that I have already been saved, but I press on. So, brothers and sisters, if we all have such an attitude, you cannot but be like Jesus.

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. (Philippians 3:13-15)

In the past, among the people I served, I found that many people's thinking was divergent and not focused enough. So, today, if we take Jesus Christ as our standard and run straight toward the standard, whether it is the devil or false apostles or false gospels, they will surely lure you and distract you. If you are studying mathematics and thinking about English in your mind; if you are studying English and thinking about physics in your mind; if you are studying physics and thinking about mathematics in your mind, then the dark forces behind the things that distract you are very evil.

We think that we always have to think when we encounter things. We always feel that there is a reason for doing this. If we believe in Jesus today and feel that it is not enough, we have to add some days and festivals to show our worship of God; or have a small operation on our genitals; or offer cattle and sheep according to the description in Leviticus, cut open the fat, and burn it in the temple. If we go back to Jerusalem to burn it today, we will not be given a chance to burn it either. There is no place to burn it.

So, our brothers and sisters always feel that it is not enough to just believe in Jesus. They always have to do something else; they always feel that faith is not enough, and they have to add actions. In fact, those things distract us. Today, let us set up a good standard and run straight toward the standard. Know that you can't do it, and you really can't do it, but God can make you do it.

Our God is a God who can raise people from the dead. Our God is a God who raised Jesus Christ from the dead. So, if the power to raise people from the dead is manifested in you and me, what else cannot be accomplished? Today, let us completely abandon unbelief from within us. We must know for sure that we used to think that we were not Joseph, that we were not Jesus, and that we were not Paul, and then put a fig leaf on our bad habit of unbelief. This is useless. Today, there is only one thing: forgetting what lies behind and striving forward to what lies ahead, and removing from within us all those things that lure us and distract us. No longer presuming this or presuming that.

If we think that we are good enough, it is even more troublesome. So, starting today, be a focused person, no longer distracted, no longer lured and seduced by these things, and know that you and I can be like Jesus. If you and I can be like Jesus, isn't life a very simple thing? How many of us still think that people need money to live, and how many people think that people need money when they get old? If anyone still thinks this way, that is a presumption, that is an illusion. Know that what you need is God.

Starting today, long to be like Jesus, no longer presuming to have attained, but pressing on. No longer presuming to have been saved, but pressing on. Many people think that they have been saved and then stay in that place. You really won't know what happened. The apostle Paul in the Bible would not say that he had already attained it, but that he pressed on. All who are mature will have this aspiration.

Mature people are like Jesus, so we must come out of a wrong concept. Never think that I have believed in Jesus and can go to heaven after I die. We must look at ourselves to see if there is anything like Jesus in us, whether we have the image of Jesus Christ. If not, start pressing on today, because our God is a God who makes you like Jesus. Our God wants to restore you to the glorious image in which He created you.

Our brothers and sisters created a song called Counterattack Life. You really can't do it, and I don't know that you can't do it, and God also knows that you can't do it, but you must not think that God can't do it either. Don't think that God can't do what you can't do.

Today, as long as you are willing to start following the Holy Spirit, running hard, and pursuing hard, our God can surely mold you into the image of Jesus Christ, and you can surely become a blessing to this generation. In this generation, God wants to raise up great and small Jesus Christs, and God also wants to raise up great and small apostles Pauls among us. This is God's will.

Remove your presumptions and then start putting God's good plans for you in your heart and holding on to God tightly. What God wants are those who trust Him. All who trust Him will not be put to shame. No longer for salary and work, but to be like Jesus, to be a blessing to this generation. God wants to do a new thing in our generation, that is, many brothers and sisters will be raised up to do what Jesus Christ did. If you don't believe me, you can check the Bible.

Today, I will tell you a prophetic prophecy: One morning, my phone rang. Actually, I had just fallen asleep at that time. Then I answered the phone, and the other party told me excitedly: A prophet once prophesied that in these last days, God will raise up a church where every brother and sister is like the apostle Paul, and every brother and sister is like Jesus Christ. I said: What are you excited about? He said that this was referring to our church. Of course, I knew that this was referring to us, because we had been running on this road long before the prophet prophesied. If this prophet knew that there was this small group of us, knew Chinese Mingding Destiny, he would be amazed at God's work in this generation.

In this generation, God will manifest His power through us and do what Jesus Christ did, so that the captives will be released and the oppressed will be set free. Today, I tell you that many people are unwilling to write such testimonies because they feel that it is a normal thing. This person was healed, and that person was also healed. There is nothing to be surprised about. Not only you, but even I think this is commonplace. The things I do myself and the things that the great and small pastors among us serve have testimonies every day. I am very fortunate to live in such a generation, and I am also very fortunate to have a group of brothers and sisters like you to run with me on the road like Jesus.

Our 102 course will talk about being like Jesus, our 103 course will talk about being like Jesus, and our 003 course will talk about Jesus. Which one doesn't talk about being like Jesus? Today, tell yourself that I can't do it. In fact, we couldn't do it in the first place, but God can. Today, start telling yourself that God can. Our God raised Jesus Christ from the dead; our Jesus Christ can raise Lazarus, who had been dead for four days, from the dead; our God can allow the second son, Jacob, to obtain the birthright of the first son, and the order of birth can be reversed; my God can allow Joseph, although he was sold to Egypt as a slave and later imprisoned, to become the prime minister of Egypt after being released from prison and become the savior of his family. If people can be resurrected from the dead, what else cannot be accomplished?

Today, brothers and sisters, if you are already very old, what you need is God, what you need is Jesus Christ, and what you need is the power of Jesus Christ to raise you from the dead; if you are young today, what you need is also the power of Jesus Christ to raise you from the dead; if you are a child, what you need is still the power of Jesus Christ to raise you from the dead.

God longs to give us this power and to hold on to God's will in this generation. No longer take yourself as the standard, no longer think about what kind of person you can be. We can't do it. But our God can. Know that our God has been waiting there for a long time. All those things that distract us, let us abandon them all.

Conclusion

It doesn't matter that you can't do it, as long as you know that God can do it. As long as you long for God, if we are willing to be shaped by God, let us remove the things we presume in our hearts today and start trusting in our God alone until we become like Jesus Christ. As long as we are not like Jesus Christ one day, we will not stop running for one day until we can do what Jesus Christ did, until God's glory is manifested through you and me and fills the whole earth. God wants to see His glory through us in this generation. May God bless everyone!
